H INDEX• The h-index is an index that quantifies both the actual scientific productivity and the
apparent scientific impact of a scientist
• The index can also be applied to the productivity and impact of a group of scientists, such as a department or university or country
• A scholar with an index of h (12) has published h (12) papers each of which has been cited by others at least h (12) times.

H INDEX• ‘An index to quantify an individual's scientific research output’
• Jorge. E. Hirsch, 2005
• Department of Physics, University of California at San Diego, La Jolla, CA 92093-0319
• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hirsch_number
• Definition and Purpose
• The h-index is an index that quantifies both the actual scientific productivity and the apparent scientific impact of a scientist
• The index can also be applied to the productivity and impact of a group of scientists, such as a department or university or country
• Hirsch writes: A scientist has index h if h of his Np papers have at least h citations each, and the other (Np - h) papers have at most h citations each.
• In other words, a scholar with an index of h has published h papers each of which has been cited by others at least h times.
• The h-index reflects both the number of publications and the number of citations per publication.
• The index is designed to improve upon simpler measures such as the total number of citations or publications.
• The index works properly only for comparing scientists working in the same field; citation conventions differ widely among different fields.
• Hirsch suggests that, for physicists, a value for h of about 12 might be a useful guideline for tenure decisions at major research universities. A value of about 18 could mean a full professorship, 15–20 could mean a fellowship in the American Physical Society, and 45 or higher could mean membership in the United States National Academy of Sciences[2].
